Rollin' and Tumblin' - Tutorial + Free Tab

In this video I want to have a look at the blues standard Rollin' an Tumblin'. The original version of this song was written in 1929 by Hambone Willie Newbern and was titled ' Roll and Tumble Blues' and since then has been covered by many different artists and has adopted the more common title 'Rollin' and Tumblin'. The song can now be considered a blues standard and is one of the most famous and instantly recognizable blues songs there is. In this video I want to have a look at the structure of the music and then have a playthrough of the guitar part which includes an intro, main section and outro. Since there are so many versions of the song out there, the structure and music can vary. However, in this video I want to do a version very close to the Muddy Waters version which is one of the most famous versions of this song. In addition, I will show you two variations on the main riff. The first is a crunchier, rockier version. The second is similar to the riff played by Eric Clapton on his Unplugged album. This music is played on a guitar in Open G tuning and although a slide is used, you could play it without one, although it wont sound as good.
